In this short segment, the speaker promotes drinking a glass of ash gourd juice (known as agre ka peetha or kushmand) on an empty stomach each morning as a detox method. She explains that the juice acts like a magnet inside the body, attracting waste particles and carrying toxins out when excreted. She advises waiting 1 to 1.5 hours before consuming any other food or drink to allow the juice to perform its cleansing function. The speaker also provides cultural context, noting the fruit’s use in sweets and its Sanskrit name meaning “tiny egg of energy.”

Agre ka peetha aapne suna hoga, jiska mithai banata hai. It's the same ash gourd, but aapko sube mithai nahi banake khaana. You have to have the juice of it. In Sanskrit, it's called kushmand. It literally translates to a tiny egg of energy. You will find it at any vegetable vendor. Simply have one glass of this juice. This juice in the morning on an empty stomach, it acts like a magnet inside your body. When it goes inside, it starts attracting a lot of the waste particles towards it, and then when it leaves your body, it carries with it a lot of the toxins sitting within. It is also recommended that after you have this juice, for at least 1 to 1.5 hours, you should not consume anything immediately after, because at that period, this juice is doing its work inside your body.
